What People Say About Us

We have represented clients from across the world on a wide range of Korean legal matters. Here is what some of them have said:

“Chung & Partners did an amazing job at helping me complete my divorce. I was out of country, so everything was handled via email and telephone. My ex-wife enlisted attorneys that were obviously trying to drag things out, but Mr. Chung had everything worked out and complete within two months. I cannot say enough good things about this firm.”

— Tom N. (Divorce)

“On behalf of the expat workers I have been trying to help with unclaimed severance pay, I sought legal advice from numerous offices — but it was only at Chung & Partners that I felt extremely satisfied. Your advice absolutely cleared the cobwebs in my head. Your excellent command of English also helped bridge the language barrier. I highly recommend this law firm to all expats having trouble understanding Korean labor law.”

— Maria (Labor / Severance Pay)

“I was very lucky to find Chung & Partners when searching for a lawyer in Korea regarding my husband’s death and pension issues. Regardless of the fact that we never met, everything was done to the best standards. Thank you for your professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to explain complicated Korean laws in simple English. Would highly recommend!”

— Olga (Family Law / Inheritance)
